Good work Mr Lee.
Give me a call over the weekend as got to sort a time to go get your car on friday.
Also have you still got the 5 spoke wheel trims from heyleys car as still in need of 1 for me trailer.
Speak soon me.
Agreed Lee, its always good to have a new season mince at the PCAD. Were both veterans at disasters at this event though lol
Chris, yeah, still got em :) I might have to do some serious tyre swapping again on Friday, ive been looking at some pics of mine on track and in hard corners the back wheel;s going a fair bit into the arch, so I dont think spacers are going to cut it.
you're not wrong therelol got my headgasket today so might be there with the nova to do some miles running it in, but might have to miss it and go for an MOT instead, we shall seeQuote:

Righty, its been ages since I had a proper mince up t'barn, so seeing as the track car actually stayed in one pice on Saturday, I thought it was time the poor little 1.2 had some attention, as ive been driving it into the ground since the Van got KO'ed.
First job was to sort the exhaust. The backbox fell off it a few weeks back, so I bodged an old GTe item onto it, which blew like a MOFO. Then a hole opened up in the downpipe, which i've been under the car 3 times with a bandage trying to quieten down. Enough was enough!
There happens to be a nice full stainless 2" GSi system on the SR. So i got it all off, and first job was to spruce up the fannymould.

Ahhh, stainless. Now the car will rot before the exhaust ever does lol

Of course, both the manifold gaskets disintegrated on removal, so i was about to get a lift into town, when i remembered THIS had been sitting in me cupboard for years!

It sounds bloody lovely now, and I can get an extra 10mph on the motorway lol
I also did an oil change. Seriously, youve never seen oil as fooked as this before! You know how bad the old oil is when the engine quietens down after you put the new stuff in lol
Next phase will come on Friday, where ive decided the ludicrously low suspension kit on the SR needs to be installed, as its pretty much brand new, and also the MO's are coming off in favour of some 14 inch Cav steelies on 185/60 rubber :) Feel like something a bit different, and the MO's scrub like feck with this suspension on! Its going to look evil LOL
Cant decide what colour to paint the steels though. Im half considering white, ive got about 3 tonnnes of white hammerite in the garage!
Ive also decided it needs some GTe bumpers, the MK 2 stuff just doesnt look right on it, and I CBA to do a MK2 conversion on it just yet. So anyone got any lying around in good nick? :)
